1 Title: Theme: Time: Materials: Learning About HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS Education 90 minutes *Flip Chart with Paper *Markers *Tape *Clear Plastic Cups (one for each person in the class) *Water *Clear Vinegar *Baking Soda *Teaspoon Objectives To educate students by dispelling myths and discussing facts about HIV/AIDS. To create awareness among students of how rapidly a sexually transmitted infection (STI) including HIV/AIDS can spread through unsafe practices. To encourage students to assess risk and make personal decisions concerning sexual behaviour that may prevent STIs including HIV/AIDS. Curriculum Expectations 7p10 - Identify the methods of transmission and the symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases (STD s) including HIV/AIDS, and ways to prevent them. 8p4 - Analyse situations that are potentially dangerous to personal safety and determine how to seek assistance. 8p13 - Apply living skills (e.g., decision-making assertiveness, and refusal skills) in making informed decisions, and analyse the consequences of engaging in sexual activities.

2 Activity One: Pre-Test QUIZ 15 minutes The focus of this lesson will be on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Start the lesson off with a pre-test. This will illustrate the students current HIV/AIDS knowledge see HIV/AIDS Quiz. Allow students 15 minutes to complete the quiz. Once students have completed the quiz make sure to collect all copies. Do not hand quizzes back until the end of lesson 7. At the end of this lesson, give this identical quiz to the students as a post-test. You can then use the data collected to measure student knowledge gained relating to HIV/AIDS. *See page 160 at the end of this lesson for pre/post test and answer key. Activity Two: HIV Facts 30 minutes The purpose of this exercise is to discuss the basic HIV/AIDS information with your students. Post 3 sheets of flip chart paper around the room. Each sheet has a different title: 1. What is HIV/AIDS? 2. How do you get HIV? 3. How do you protect yourself from HIV/AIDS? (See teacher guide below for answers) Break the students into small groups by numbering them 1 to 3. Each group will be given a marker in order to record their responses. Have each group list the information they know or have heard about the topic to which they are assigned. You can give participants permission to list answers that they know are myths or that their friends may believe. This will give more freedom to those participants who feel uncomfortable or who are afraid of looking unknowledgeable. Peel Public Health Department: Healthy Sexuality Program Contact Peel Public

3 Discussion Post the sheets at the front of the room and in the large group, discuss the responses. The group task is to review the information, correct misinformation, affirm correct information, and fill in missing information. It is important to: Use large print Post the sheets where everyone can see them Read out and address each point Before you review how the virus is transmitted, during the exercise (question #2), discuss the following with participants (on a flip chart): Principals of Transmission: 1. A body fluid containing enough of the virus (blood, semen, vaginal fluids and/or breast milk). 2. A way for the body fluid to get into the bloodstream of another person. Keep this chart posted, and when students have questions about whether a particular activity will transmit the virus, you can refer back to this flip chart and have the group determine whether the virus could or could not be transmitted.

4 Teacher Guide Answers to Accompany Activity One 1. What is HIV/AIDS? HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. Over time, the immune system may grow weak and individuals living with HIV may become sick with different illnesses. After time, the immune system will no longer be able to defend the body from infections, diseases or cancers. This advanced stage of the HIV disease is called AIDS, and individuals will eventually die from AIDS related illnesses. 2. How do you get HIV? HIV infection is passed only through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The main risks are having unprotected sex and sharing needles or equipment for injecting drugs. HIV positive women can pass the virus to their baby during pregnancy, at birth or through breast feeding. 3. How do you protect yourself from HIV/AIDS? Wear a latex or polyurethane condom during vaginal, anal and/or oral sex; wear a latex or polyurethane dental dam during oral sex performed on a female. Do not share needles or any equipment for injecting drugs (e.g., cocaine, heroin or steroids). Make sure you go to a reputable tattooing/piercing establishment, one that uses disposable ear piercing guns, and sterilizes metal instruments using an autoclave. Do not share personal hygiene products (e.g., razors, toothbrush). Peel Public Health Department: Healthy Sexuality Program Contact Peel Public

5 Activity Three: Watch it Spread 30 minutes Students will become aware of how rapidly an infection can be spread with unsafe practices. Body fluids are all similar in colour and a person cannot distinguish between an infected and uninfected body fluid. One of the greatest deterrents to the practice of safer sex or safer injection is thinking: It can t happen to me. Statistics show that 50% of Canadians contract at least one STI by the time they are 24 years. This exercise dramatizes the possible rapid progression of the spread of an STI (e.g., HIV) and may provoke participants to think about the reasons why people may not protect themselves. Materials Clear Plastic Cups (one for each person in the group) Water Clear Vinegar Baking Soda Marker Teaspoon Methods 1. Mark the bottom of the cups with the following letters: two cups are labelled with a small X twenty percent of the cups are labelled with a C twenty percent of the cups are labelled with a O the remaining cups are labelled either NC, CB or N X Person living with HIV/AIDS C Condom NC No condom used CB Condom broke N Needle User O Outer course 2. Pour a little bit of water in all the cups (about half full) except the ones with the X on it. In those two cups pour the clear vinegar. 3. Explain that this lesson is designed to teach students how exchanging body fluids can put individuals at risk for HIV. Ask participants to imagine they are mingling at a party and that they will have a chance to talk with 3 different people on topics you suggest (e.g., music, movies, TV).

6 4. Ask each student to select a cup with liquid in it, and tell them NOT TO DRINK the contents. 5. Ask them to stand, mingle with each other and discuss the given topic. They need to mingle with at least 3 people. Every time they speak to a new person they have to exchange the liquids in their cups. (Pour liquids of one cup into the other cup, mix and then separate again into original cups). 6. Give the students about 5 minutes to mingle and exchange fluids with at least 3 people. 7. Finally when time is up, ask them to return to their seats. 8. Once everyone has returned to their seats, the facilitators (2 students) will go around and pour a half teaspoon of baking soda in every cup. 9. The fluid in the cups of certain participants will fizz up. Those students need to stand up. For the purpose of this activity they have come in contact with someone who is living with HIV. 10. Ask the students with the X on bottom of their cups to step forward. Tell those students that for the purpose of this activity, they are people living with HIV. 11. Next, tell the students that, for the purpose of this exercise, the conversation they had during the exercise represents unsafe activities. Ask the students standing with whom they exchanged fluids. The identified students also need to step forward. Discuss the feelings of those participants who are standing, those who have stepped forward and those who are sitting (are they surprised, angry, happy, relieved...). 12. Now ask those people with a C at the bottom of their cup to sit down. These are individuals who used a condom if they had intercourse or other sexual contact. Point out how only a small percentage of the population uses condoms EVERY TIME. 13. Tell the people standing with an NC and CB to remain standing. They either used no condom or their condom broke while engaging in sexual activity. 14. Next, indicate that standing people with an O can sit down. They engaged in a relationship at the party but did not have intercourse. They used outer course instead (intimate sexual stimulation without vaginal, anal or oral penetration).

7 15. Standing people with an N have used needles for injection drug use and have shared these needles with others, which has put them at risk. Discuss how one can reduce the risk by always using new needles. 16. All participants can sit down and lead a debrief discussion with the following questions: How did you feel exchanging body fluids with other classmates? How did those students who stood up feel? How did those students who remained seated feel? Did those students who stood up feel stigmatized and/or discriminated against? Activity Four: Post-Test 15 minutes Distribute the post-test to each student (quiz/answers). Collect the completed quizzes and evaluate. Hand back both the pre/post quiz together. Once the quizzes have been returned, review the correct answers together as a group. Were students surprised at how they answered the questions the first time compared to the second time? Why or why not? Possible Extensions The following ideas can be used as a review or extensions. Have students: Create HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention posters, and/or organize an AIDS awareness event (e.g., health fair) at your school. Collect newspaper and magazine articles to create a scrapbook on HIV/AIDS. Create an HIV/AIDS information puzzle (e.g., cross word, word search). Possible Assessment For the pre-test and post-test quizzes, the data collected can be used to measure student knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The pre/post-test includes a mark breakdown for a total of 10 marks. Should you decide to evaluate participation during Lesson Two, group members could evaluate themselves and/or each other in terms of the additional information or ideas they added to the discussion and group activity.
